PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT Ending to this awesome series! With the crazy cliffy ending in book 4 I was dying for book 5 (I only had to wait about 12 hours but that was 11:59 to long). I needed to see Gareth get his HEA and boy did he! This book made me cry, made me laugh and made my heart soar! I especially had a huge soft spot for Gareth's relationship with Sophia. The best thing about this series was the family closeness for me. After 5 books it kind of feels like I was part of the family and not that it's over I'm heart broken but only because I will miss them. Amy Daws gave us closure for each member of the family and every got a HEA of sorts. It couldn't have ended any other way in my eyes. I'm left feeling a little sad but really very happy hearted and so satisfied.

The narration was also perfect. I loved all 3 narrators and I especially loved that with the female lead being american a new narrator was brought in but the original female narrator also stayed on to keep the voices the same for the previous characters. Simply brilliant!!

Touching end to the Harris family…

Omg. What a wild ride with this Harris family. Gareth definitely needed two books. Gareth and Sloan helped each other tremendously throughout their two part saga. I loved how everyone in the Harris family got their HEA. There was a closing of a loop with Vi that just brought all the fuzzy feelings. The story is heartwarming and I cant wait to read the spin-offs.

A winner as oldest Harris brother finds happiness beyond the football/soccer pitch

This was the culmination of the Harris Brothers story though not that of friends and extended family. It also provided some resolution to some of the family drama with some touching scenes. There were several subplots, some which went nowhere like Sloans love of horses, and some very hot scenes as Gareth and Sloan flirt with a very mild version of BDSM. There was not resolution on Sloan’s career though there was a natural progression on Gareth’s. The one part of the story arc I was unhappy with involved Sloan’s horrible ex, Cal. I could see her giving him an amount of money equivalent to the bonus amount had they gotten back together just to get rid of his absurd proposals but to give in entirely and then later for him to profit from abandoning his daughter was pretty reprehensible. I would have thought a little threat of bad press at his actions would have worked better and not left the reader with the let down of a bad guy “dominating “ financially by behaving badly. Some additional retribution was warranted.
The duet style of narration really helped this performance as Will Watts tends to swallow the last syllable of words in emotional scenes so having Piper Goodeve pick up those moments helps to smooth out the narration. Hopefully there will eventually be a story centering more on the not too old senior patriarch Vaughn now that his kids are settled- other than the mysterious illegitimate American son mentioned at the end of Santino’s book. Looking forward to that next story and welcome addition in narration.

Peak Finale for the Harris Family

We get some Vaughn Harris POV to pick this duet back up and that means you KNOW you’re going to get some major head to head battles between the Harris patriarch and his eldest and most distance son.

But we’re at the hospital post attack and Sloane goes all mama bear on the Harris family to advocate for a still unconscious Gareth. Cue the ‘wake up to see her protecting me’ scene that makes Gareth officially fall in love with her.

However it’s not all Happily Ever After from that. We’ve got exes and mother in laws and her will when she passes and we’ve got bitter rivals on the pitch and Vi and Hayden getting married and officially laying Vilma to rest in an emotional family moment.

Amy gives this family a grand official send off even though we know we’ll see more of them in her future stories as auxiliary characters.

More amazing audio performances by the cast of Will Watt, Piper Goodeve and Charolette Cole.

Gareth stole my heart a little

This one was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. A good one though. Starting where we left off in Surrender, some major hurdles were leapt. Vaughn finally speaking about Vilma had me boohooing. Gareth’s breakdown at the beach got me again. Even the farewell to football got me. But even with there, there were so many good moments. Every moment where Sophia felt all the love from Gareth & the whole Harris family had me grinning from ear to ear (maybe some with tears in my eyes). Every time Gareth had the opportunity to show Sloan how special she was. And that proposal!!!
Excellent end to the Harris Brother’s series.

Narration was still very much on point

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Swoon!!!!

Loved this book, the conclusion of Garret’s story. I am a new fan of Amy Daws. I’ve listened to the Harris Brothers series and just can’t get enough. I am now stalking her on social media. She’s a genius!! And in this book I laughed out loud, and cried my eyes out! Her writing is perfection!!

Rocked me to my core!

The conclusion to Gareth and Sloan’s story did not disappoint. It was an emotional roller coaster that had me bawling like a baby. It was raw and real and I felt their pain and heartbreak to my core. I loved seeing the vulnerability and watching as they shed the regrets from the past. There were so many moments where I had to stop listening to get my emotions in check. I lost myself in this storyline. The tragedy that shook this family and nearly destroyed it, also has the power to heal them and bring them back together. It was both heartwarming and heart wrenching and it made me love the Harris family even more than I thought possible.

Another successful collaboration between Amy Daws, Will Watt, Piper Goodeve, and Charlotte Cole. I’m addicted to this duet style narration and these talented narrators did an incredible job of giving each of Amy’s endearing cast of characters an individual voice.

It was too long, but ok

I'm not sure why this book was really necessary when the story could've been finished in the last one (Surrender). It wasn't bad but it really was a bit overdone. I also hated the money decision Sloan made as it was absolutely unrealistic and felt like a quick way to write off the character/situation instead of letting it play in the background with I don't know...lawyers maybe, she could afford them. I was just so disappointed in her character's lack of real independence/self sufficiency that would be expected of a single mom and business owner.

Beyond all that, the book had a very weird religious undertone to it which definitely got more heavy handed as the series went on and this book was no except.

I mean, it had some great scenes and parts I really enjoyed, but overall it was just ok.
